OH, Patti, that really is lovely, especially the first one. Thank you so much. Makes me feel cold looking at it mind you. Seems strange to look at these, then go outside to plant seedlings and mow grass.

I could send you pictures of rain ! Patti those are beautiful shots, reminds of my days growing up in Montreal. Actually today in Vancouver it's very cool and sunny (well it's night and dark right now...)

Even photo's of rain would make me envious, DD, we are not getting enough of it unfortunately. All seedlings planted, no mowing done though, Patti. I hope you don't get a bad Winter, everything in moderation would be good. Like a mild summer for us too.

Yes and no about timing for our first snowfall. This much is not as usual I am so afraid that we are going to have a winter like we did 2 years ago where it snowed in Jan. 14 days straight. Not small snowfalls either we got dummmpppped on that year. I think I posted some pictures then. The first cou[ple of snowfalls are so beautiful they make me smile!

They're very beautiful photos , we're going have warm weather in Massachusetts it could be 70 degrees on Monday. I hope we'll not have a crazy winter this year , we got very little snow last winter.

70 degrees????? oh my that sounds so wonderful. Except that as I write this the sun is coming up over the trees and shining off of the snow, it looks so beautiful! Thanks for the compliment on the pics.

Last winter was very warm and in the summer we had the worst ticks problem.
Nothing was working to keep ticks off people dog. I hope it get colder and we'll get some snow so we'll not have a water ban in the summer. 70 degree sound nice but it not a good thing. That sound very pretty where you live.

I think that's the motto of life. You always hate what you have, and want what you don't have.
I wish I could win the lotto and avoid the cold weather lol. I just had to trudge through foot and a half high snow to get the extension cord for my vehicle... I was not impressed.

I'd swap that for entire summers spent worrying about bushfires. Yes, actually I can cope with the heat, it's the dangers that go with Summer that I hate. Brown snakes and bushfires. Wouldn't matter if I lived in the city.

I totally agree Hazel, aint it purdy? Until of course it starts to turn mucky brown and dirty. I would miss the different seasons if I lived in a warmer climate.

I moved from Boston, Ma. to California to get away from the cold and snow.
I when to live in Northern California as I was told it does not snow there a lot. We had the worst winter in 35 years and got hit with a huge snow storm. It was funny as I traveled 3,000 to get away from snow. People water lines froze because they where about the ground.
